Brittany Harb
Brittany is in the final year of a Master’s of Science in Program Evaluation and Data Analytics. She is studying at her alma mater, where she received a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science. She has been in the workforce for over 10 years, and has used this time to develop excellent communication, time-management, and problem solving skills. Brittany loves working in fast-paced, focused environments. She works very well in a team setting, but can also complete necessary tasks independently and on-time. She is highly proficient in most Accounts Payable software, including SAP Concur, Workday, Prologue, and PeopleSoft Oracle. Her experience at Customer’s Bank has taught her important aspects of business and the financial sector, and has become a valuable member of her team due to her attitude that no job is too small for someone to do. She believes that hard work and open communication are vital in a professional setting, and will always show up with a positive attitude.
Brittany also works with data analysis, and has advanced knowledge of working with data analytics software, specifically R and Rstudio, though she is also proficient in Python and SQL. She can perform basic functions in all systems, and can use R to conduct an even wider variety of functions, including text analysis and data visualization. Brittany is hoping to find a company to grow with, and a role in a job that challenges her every day!
